Merida Yucatan
“Merida is a great place to discover and explore the Northern Yucatan. You can use it as a home base while you discover the flamingos at Celestun or the Uxmal ruins or the many ancient churches in the area.
It also has all the magic for evening strolls downtown where you will discover this Mayan city’s great foods, music and joy of life. Truly a fine place to be.”
